Adventure tourism includes a variety of outdoor
activities. Lac Saint-Jean Lake, one of the most magnificent lakes in the
province of Quebec, with a surface area of 44 km by 24 km, is, like its
tributaries, well suited for an array of nautical activities. Moreover, the
expanse of the territory and the abundance of wild areas make it the perfect location
for original and stimulating land-based activities.

Among all of the region’s provinces, the
Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region is ranked second by visitors from outside the American
continent having sought a great nature experience. Since the region stands out
in many different regards due to its vast territory, the tourism industry has vouched
to excel in adventure tourism and ecotourism.
